Thank you very much for your thoughtful responses. I had my first meeting with Dr. Reed yesterday and I have to say that everything I had read about him in these forums rang true - he was very considerate, thoughtful, honest and came across as being extremely reliable.
However after taking a lot of factors (medication, money, expected results) into consideration, I have decided to opt out of having a HT and stay happy the way I am for now.
Thanks to everyone who weighed in with their comments.
